Hi Ladies (and maybe a couple gentlemen?), how is the weather like at your corner of the world? I was keeping “summer” in mind when I design my next pattern, thinking that most of Itch to Stitch’s customers are in the summer zones right now. After talking to a few of you, I realize that […]

If I may say so myself, my Emily Culottes are truly the bomb. They make me feel beautiful and are a breeze to wear. If you haven’t sewn a pair yet, here’s the opportunity! Maris from Sew Maris will be leading a sew-along with Emily Culottes, starting July 27th. It is such a privilege to […]

Since I started designing and drafting sewing patterns, I hardly have any time to sew anything other than my own patterns. Unlike big-box pattern companies that churn out patterns in batches, independent designers like myself are usually jack of all trades. And I routinely sew up 6 samples for each design before starting testing. And I […]

*Join Itch to Stitch Facebook group to get a coupon for additional bundle discount* I have been cooking a set of patterns that can be worn together for the summer, and now they are ready! Please welcome Angelia Shorts and Kathryn Top & Dress. Let me introduce Angelia Shorts first. I wear shorts all […]

I have been working hard to create a top that would work with the Angelia Shorts pattern that was tested early, and it’s finally ready for testing! Not only that, I’ve also extended the top to create a dress. I was going for something feminine without too frou-frou. There’s visual interest but is not too […]

Summer has arrived (at least for most of us). A pair of functional and cute shorts is definitely in order. I have been longing to create a pair (or 5) since I wear shorts quite often, given where I live. Finally I am creating a pattern and it is ready for testing! Are you interested […]

While I enjoy sewing a garment with lots bells and whistles, there’s also something to be said about a quick project. Lindy Petal Skirt gives you just the instant gratification you sometimes crave. Maybe you realize after dinner that you need a skirt to match your top for tomorrow. No problem, pull a piece of fabric out […]

Rachel from Once Upon a Sewing Machine created a very cute version of Jacqueline Hoodie. She used a lighter-weight knit fabric for the breezy summer nights. I think it’s perfect for those who live in coastal or desert area where the temperature drops in the evening. It’s also great for those of us who are […]

Today the Jacqueline Hoodie Blog Tour & Giveaway is stopping at All Sewn Up by Stacey. Stacey has been a great supporter/tester of Itch To Stitch patterns. I am grateful that she has been helping test since my very first pattern. She has always done a marvelous job. And she is doing it again with her […]

Today for the Jacqueline Hoodie Blog Tour & Giveaway, we are stopping at La Casa Cactus. Elsa did a wonderful job on her Jacqueline Hoodie. She chose to use a dark yellow fabric with gray as accent. She affectionately calls her hoodie “Bumblebee” after the Transformer, which I think is quite fitting. If you wonder how […]

Today for the Jacqueline Blog Tour & Giveaway, we are stopping at Goddess of Sewing, the blogging home of Jordan. Jordan tested my Emily Culottes pattern too, and I loved it so much that I featured it right on my product page. I know that Jordan would do a great job on testing Jacqueline Hoodie. […]
